Still the best - 45 years later!
I grew up in Charleston, SC, and was very active in water sports. When I was 14 years old, I did everything I could to save up enough money to buy a pair of Birdwells (1982). I am now 57 years old and have a 14-year-old son who loves to kneeboard/boogie board. I was excited to see that Birdwells were still being made! I purchased us both a couple of pairs for our upcoming vacation to Wilderness at the Smokies (Sevierville, TN) over the 4th of July weekend. He loves them, and we are both excited!
